Best Prime Day 2018 Deals: Echo, Kindle, Fire, Cloud Cam

Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers are rarely expensive (unless you opt for the premium Kindle Oasis). They’re built to be affordable, and they’re as cheap as they’ll get this year for Amazon Prime Day 2018. We’ve compiled every decent deal on Amazon-branded devices going on right now, which also includes Cloud Cams and Fire TVs. Some of them are pretty deeply discounted. Many, possibly all, of these deals will end at 2:45 a.m. ET July 18.

Amazon has a Device Deals page with many of the deals, but we have them all organized below.

Fire HD Tablets

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet

Amazon

We’re fans of some of Amazon’s Fire Tablets. The Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 are our two favorites, along with the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition (if you’re buying for a little one). Read more about all of Amazon’s tablets in our Which is the Best Fire Tablet? guide.

For most folks, the Fire HD 7 isn’t the best to buy because of its lower-quality screen, processing power, battery life, and camera. But it is also on sale this week and is dirt cheap, perfect for a kid. Amazon is also offering 3 months of its Kids FreeTime Unlimited for $3, which puts kid-friendly games, books, and TV shows on tap.

Kindle e-Readers

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite is our favorite ebook reader. It gives you an easy-to-read backlit screen and incredible month-long battery life, but it’s not the only solid e-reader Amazon makes. You can read about every Kindle in the guide to Our Favorite Kindles.

If you do buy a Kindle from Amazon, check out Kindle Unlimited. It’s normally $10 a month, but during Prime Day you can get 3 months for $1. It lets you read unlimited books (and listen to Audible books) for that price. If you’re an avid reader, the math is in your favor.

Fire TVs

Amazon Fire TV 4K

Amazon

Amazon’s latest Fire TV supports hands-free Alexa and some advanced features like 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos sound. The other Fire TVs are now just compact dongles for your TV, and easily tuck away without much hassle. The Fire TV 4K is one of our picks for the Best TV Streaming Devices.

Dash Buttons

Amazon Dash Buttons

Amazon

All Dash Buttons are on sale for $1 instead of $5. They’re Amazon’s small little Wi-Fi enabled clickable buttons that you can stick around your house to easily re-order items. Each button is tied to a particular company. If you have, say, a particular type of laundry detergent you always buy, you could stick a Tide Dash Button on your laundry machine and tap it whenever you’re running low. It adds the Tide to your cart.

Other good uses might be for re-ordering diapers or Keurig K Cups. Just do us a favor and please don’t buy the Funyuns button if you hope to live a full, healthy life.

Amazon Prime Subscription Deals

These are deals above and beyond what Amazon normally offers for its various services.
